Is Cinna dressing Jennifer Lawrence this week? Because she sure is looking good!

The Hunger Games‘s leading lady made her first New York appearance Tuesday afternoon, arriving at the Late Show with David Letterman in a shimmering black-and-bronze illusion dress and sexy heels. She later left in Raoul’s “diamond dress” — a simple black shift with a cutout at the neckline — and the same shoes.

Later that evening, Lawrence attended a screening of her film in a plunging forest Calvin Klein Collection dress. After a quick night’s sleep, the starlet surfaced at Good Morning America in a floaty white Joie blouse, navy Holmes & Yang skirt, red belt and white sandals. So many outfits, so little time! Tell us: Which of Lawrence’s looks do you like best?

The Hunger Games‘s costumes are fiery, complicated and “torturous” — but the challenge of designing them paled in comparison to the discomfort of wearing them in the unrelenting North Carolina heat.

“The biggest problem was the weather,” the film’s costume designer, Judianna Makovsky, tells The Cut. “It was 90, more like 100 degrees, and 100 percent humidity.”

Makovsky — who designed costumes for the first Harry Potter films — admits she hadn’t initially read The Hunger Games books, but once director Gary Ross offered her the job, she dove right in — and loved them. But reading them also scared her just a bit. “My immediate thought was, ‘Oh dear, how do I do all that?'” she recalls of imagining the over-the-top costumes.

Kravitz envisioned a much less avant-garde look for Cinna, the stylist and confidante of the Hunger Games‘s heroine, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence).

“When I told friends that had kids that I was doing this film and playing Cinna, they were like, ‘Oh, yeah, he’s like super flamboyant and super out there,'” he told reporters at a recent Los Angeles press day for the film. “The first question I had to get was, ‘How far do you want to take this?’ Was this going to be like the Fifth Element? Was I going to be like Chris Tucker? What was it going to be?”

Elizabeth Banks wasn’t the only one with a crazy Hunger Games beauty routine: Wes Bentley’s facial hair — required to play head gamemaker Seneca Crane in film — took three hours for makeup artist Ve Neill to sculpt each day.

“It’s my [hair],” Bentley revealed to PEOPLE at a recent Los Angeles press day for the film. “I showed up with a beard — as I always do — to set, and [makeup artist Ve Neill, who then created the pattern] was excited to see that.”

The detailed look reflects the avant-garde style beloved by citizens of the Capitol in the world of the Hunger Games. “It’s definitely that high-fashion look,” Bentley added.

While the beard’s futuristic design certainly fit in with the film’s stylized setting, it was less suited to rural North Carolina, where the cast and crew shot.
